Heat?

Soon-to-die harddrive?

fucked up antivirus/trying to update it but the update site is offline

etc etc

Be more specific, what kind of computer you have? windows xp? sp1? sp2?

boner 2.0 · 03-09-2005, 12:55 PM

Hmm seem to be the new virus attacking XP SP2 machine and 2003

boner 2.0 · 03-09-2005, 12:58 PM

so update your antivirus software or if you dont have one get AVG Free edition or you can try (30 days trial) Kaspersky

and also do a windows update

Its XP SP2, Im thinking to run adaware + virus catcher.

Talking about the heat, Ive already cleaned my cooler

Works better now

HDD? I dont know how to check if its dying

And I dont have any antivirus

If it is a Pentium I would put money on it being a faulty chip. To find out, go into BIOS and disable the Hyper Threading

Spyware situation maybe?

Young · 03-09-2005, 01:07 PM

I've killed many hard drives. If your fan is all set I'm betting its the hard drive.

irishfury · 03-09-2005, 01:08 PM

when it lags to cpu usage or mem usage jump way up?

Silent_Thunder · 03-09-2005, 01:11 PM

spideriux · 03-09-2005, 01:51 PM

you need more RAM

BuggyG · 03-09-2005, 03:40 PM

sounds almost like mine
except mine freezes up 30secs.. 1min then goes back to running fine

happens only when run MSN/MIRC

if I do stuff without thos eon it.. runs good

in any case.. gonna be reformating it anyways.. hopefully fixes probs.. I hate formatting and reinstalling everything

flashfire · 03-09-2005, 03:41 PM

maybe spyware, it can do some crazy things

Silent_Thunder · 03-09-2005, 04:41 PM

Adaware helped!

I feel great now!

thaifan99 · 03-09-2005, 04:42 PM
